Hot Coco Cookies

A very merry 18th day of BlogMas to you!!! I happened about these neat cookies from Instagram and Pinterest on accident. They kept coming up! I was going to make cookies for my Neighbor Gift Basket and these have officially made the cut!

Hot. Coco. Cookies. What?! There’s real coco powder and marshmallows cooked on top… you really really can’t go wrong I swear!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
12 ozs of chocolate chips
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/4 cup coco powder and 1 teaspoon reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Roughly 30 large marshmallows
2 Hershey’s chocolate bars cut into small squares
1 teaspoon powdered sugar

First in a medium sauce pan melt butter and chocolate chips together. After melted cool for 10 minutes. Second mix flour, coco powder, salt and baking soda together in a small bowl. In a stand mixer mix together eggs, vanilla and brown sugar. Once the chocolate mixture has cooled add that to the wet ingredients in the mixer. Slowly incorporate dry ingredients. (It will look like brownie batter in my opinion.) Pit the mixing bowl into the refrigerator for 45 minutes to harden. Preheat oven to 350 and roll out cookies into 1 inch balls with 2 inches of space on a parchment lined baking sheet. Lightly press down the cookie ball and bake for 11 minutes till cracks appear. Pull out cookies and put halves of large marshmallows and small piece of cut up chocolate onto cookie. Chocolate can be attached with the sticky side of the marshmallow on top. Bake them again for another 4 minutes. Allow them time to cool and add a small amount of coco powder and powdered sugar on top in a sprinkle fashion. Then you’re finished!

Definitely give these a try this holiday season! Easy enough to bake up for the neighborhood in my opinion! 😉
